1. The distal loop
2. The baroreceptors
3. Henle's loop
4. The juxtaglomerular cells
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The distal loop is a section of the kidneys, not a group of cells.
Rationale 2: The baroreceptors are located in the heart, not the kidneys.
Rationale 3: Henle's loop is a section of the kidneys, not a group of cells.
Rationale 4: The juxtaglomerular cells (JG) are responsible for the secretion, storage, and synthesizing of renin.
